On Saturday, the Chinese authorities ordered eleven neighborhoods to be isolated in the capital, Beijing, after a new epidemic of the new Corona virus emerged, raising fears of a new outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic in the country where the disease arose late last year.
At present, Brazil has become the second most affected country after the United States.
In Beijing, officials in the Fengtai District announced on Saturday the establishment of a "war mechanism" to combat the new wave. Seven cases of Covid-19 virus caused by the virus were reported in the vicinity of the Shevandi Market in Beijing, including six on Saturday, according to health authorities.
The authorities closed the market, as well as another market to sell seafood, which had been infected, in order to sterilize it and take samples, and closed nine schools and nurseries in the vicinity of the region as well.
On Thursday, the first known cases of Covid-19 were announced in Beijing two months ago, and the new cases raise the fear of new epidemics in China, which the authorities have managed to control by imposing strict quarantine measures.
After settling in the United States (more than 114,000 deaths), there is an increase in the number of injuries in states where economic activity resumed as of last April, which raises the fear of a second wave of injuries.
